Environmental Impact

As a user of natural resources, you have a responsibility to operate in a manner which shows concern and awareness for environmental issues. Having a detailed understanding of how your golf course can benefit the local environment, while also being aware of potential risks of causing harm, will allow you to take appropriate action where needed. This will enhance your reputation and highlight where the business benefits from environmentally and socially responsible management.

  • Using water efficiently

    Water is a precious resource and golf courses should only use what is absolutely necessary.

  • Using chemicals responsibly

    Can you justify applying chemicals? Is it necessary to sustain playing and economic performance and is it environmentally safe?

  • Preventing Pollution

    Golf courses have a social responsibility to ensure they do not pollute the environment.

  • Working with nature

    Trying to control nature always leads to disaster and unnecessary costs.

  • Meeting energy needs

    Energy is becoming increasingly expensive, so do what you can to reduce your consumption or look at producing your own.

  • Managing waste

    Following the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle to minimise your waste production.
